MARIUS

France |
1931 | Alexander Korda

The first part of the celebrated and beloved “Marseille Trilogy,” written by the great Marcel Pagnol, introduces the saga’s three main characters: waterfront café owner César (Raimu); his dreamy son Marius (Pierre Fresnay), who yearns to go to sea; and local girl Fanny (Orane Demazis), who vies with the sea for Marius’ affection. This wonderfully acted, character-driven saga overflows with warmth, humor, and heart; it’s one of the most enjoyable and involving screen sagas ever made. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 127 min.
